ChicagoRuby @ Beyond Finance

Save the date!
Beyond Finance is hosting ChicagoRuby September 10th.
Speakers:
🎤 Aji Slater (in person) - Zen and the Art of Incremental Automation
🎤 Jim Remsik (in person) - What if We Did Less?
- Sometimes the most obvious solution is the hardest path forward. We default to doing more—adding steps, piling on processes, or pushing harder—when the real breakthrough often comes from doing less. This talk explores how resisting the reflex to act immediately can open space for sharper thinking, smarter decisions, and better outcomes with fewer resources. By questioning the “obvious” next move, we discover that effectiveness isn’t about effort—it’s about impact.
